: I believe your right to voluntarily put anything into your body you want to -- be it herbs, tongue rings or minor appendages belonging to a member of the same sex -- is an important thing. But there will never be a major revolutionary movement based upon marijuana rights, for that very reason.

: It's like the old joke goes, who'd win the drug users marathon? The cokeheads would be past the finish line before anyone fired the shot. The heroin users would be collapsed at the starting gate. The potheads would be home saying "the race was today?"

USED to be, back when I was heavy into the political action crap (PAC), I knew tons of people into legalizing marijuana, but how do you register to vote when you live out of a van selling Grateful Dead t-shirts?
Well, after I sobered up from the rally (posted below), I did work with some folks on voter registration for the homeless, and we have made some big advances here in MN.
Our voting stats are pretty kickass here, but it's mainly because there are fewer barriers here than elsewhere. I mean, you can vote up to a month before the election here just because you don't like Tuesdays.

Looks like Jay and Silent Bob will have to be selling fireworks for another year or two...
